London & San Francisco; February 1st, 2013;
The team behind GameStick today raised a glass and let out a cheer
as one of the most successful technology Kickstarter projects
closed at $648K.

“We are overwhelmed, excited, grateful, thrilled and
everything in between." says Anthony Johnson, CMO,
PlayJam.“The campaign has been an incredible success with
support from thousands of backers worldwide but this is just the
beginning.The feedback from the Kickstarter community has been
invaluable in shaping the final product and we will continue to
seek input from those that supported us to ensure continued
innovation ahead of a global retail launch.”

The campaign to fund the production of GameStick, which is set
to ship in April 2013, closed today at 07.36 PST with pledges
coming in right up to the last second finishing at 648% of the
original target. Those that missed out on the Kickstarter campaign
will be able to pre-order via the GameStick website at

GameStick is a small yet powerful, dedicated games console that
plugs directly into a TV's HDMI slot and comes with a fully
featured Bluetooth controller - ready to go right out of the box.
When on the move, the two combine into a single unit, putting big
screen gaming right into the pocket. The device will be compatible
with other Bluetooth controllers enabling true multi-player
functionality.

GameStick’s purpose-built game store will be powered by
PlayJam’s built-for-TV technology enabling users to browse,
download content and interact with the wider GameStick
community.

Throughout the campaign the team responded to thousands of
comments and suggestions from Kickstarter backers that saw the
product evolve in real-time as the team scrambled to incorporate a
number of requested features from additional memory capacity to
support for peripheral hardware via a docking station.

GameStick, described as 'The Most Portable TV games Console Ever
Created' has been hailed by many supporters as the console to
disrupt the games industry, has gathered high profile supporters
throughout the campaign such as; Jason Kingsley (Founder of
Rebellion), Jason Bradbury (Gadget Show host), Jermaine Dupri
(Record producer) and Shaquille O'Neal (Basketball Legend).
